The City of Waverley was a local government area about 20 kilometres (12 mi) east-southeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The city covered an area of 60.86 square kilometres (23.50 sq mi), and existed from 1857 until 1994.

History

Waverley was first incorporated as the Oakleigh Road District in January 1857, which became the Shire of Oakleigh in December 1871. Parts of the Central and South Ridings were severed to create the Oakleigh Borough, which went on to become the City of Oakleigh, on 13 March 1891. The remainder was renamed the Shire of Mulgrave on 19 February 1897. In 1949 and 1959, further areas were annexed to the City of Oakleigh. On 14 April 1961, the Shire of Mulgrave became the City of Waverley.[2]

On 15 December 1994, the City of Waverley was abolished, and, along with most of the City of Oakleigh, was merged into the newly created City of Monash.[3]

Council meetings were held at Waverley Town Hall, on Springvale Road, Glen Waverley. It presently serves as the council seat for the City of Monash.
